MINE WAR ON BLACKBERRY CREEK 1986, 29:00
A report from the long and bitter United Mine Workers of America strike against the A.T. Massey Coal Company, a subsidiary of a multinational corporation that also mines coal in South Africa.
“A humanistic examination of a coal miners’ strike, the filmmakers let the parties involved speak for themselves, and no other commentary is needed. This strike resembles nothing so much as a war….Through it all, the importance of believing in what is right, and standing up for those principles no matter what the cost, comes through like a ringing bell.” -Rod Granger, film critic and juror, Expo XXI
